Radiohead Sees Two Career-Defining Songs Reach New Peaks
Radiohead's 'Let Down' hits a new peak on the Hot Rock Songs chart at No. 12, while 'Creep' climbs ... More to an all-time high of No. 47 on the Billboard Global 200.

(Photo by) Radiohead hasn't released a new album in almost a decade, as the group last promoted a full-length in 2016 with A Moon Shaped Pool. In the years since, the rock band has only delivered a handful of tunes from a few retrospective projects. Despite a relative quiet that has now lasted quite a long time, Radiohead is enjoying a particularly exciting period on the Billboard charts as one of its decades-old tracks goes viral. The quick success of that semi-obscure cut is helping one of the band's most famous tunes continue to find a global audience. Only two Radiohead songs appear on the Billboard charts this week, but both manage to hit a new high point on one tally apiece — though they achieve that feat on different rankings. Radiohead Inches Toward a New Top 10 Hit Within the past few weeks, "Let Down" has become a surprise hit for the band. After finding fans on TikTok, its viral success on the app translated to sales on iTunes and streams on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. This week, "Let Down" inches closer to becoming a top 10 hit on the Hot Rock Songs chart, rising from No. 14 to No. 12. That lift marks a new peak for the tune on the list of the most consumed rock tracks in America. 'Let Down' Holds at its All-Time Peak At the same time, "Let Down" holds steady at its all-time high on both the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs tallies. Radiohead's new smash also reenters the Billboard Global 200 at No. 191 — just one space beneath its previously-established highest position. 'Creep' Also Hits Rocks Higher Than Ever As "Let Down" continues to climb, "Creep" — widely regarded as Radiohead's most famous track — is growing internationally. This week, "Creep" pushes to No. 47 on the Billboard Global 200, setting a new top placement. The song became Radiohead's first hit on that global roster years ago, and is the band's highest-rising tune yet. Whenever the track climbs, the outfit hits a new career high as well. 'Creep' Remains a Top 10 Smash While "Creep" climbs on the Billboard Global 200, it declines on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., which ranks the most consumed songs throughout the world with American sales and streaming data excluded. "Creep" does perform well on the only two U.S.-based rankings where it appears, sitting at No. 7 on the Alternative Streaming Songs tally and No. 9 on the Rock Streaming Songs chart, rising slightly on both lists.

(Photo by) Getty Images Radiohead recently scored a new global hit with 'Let Down,' a tune the band originally released decades ago. The track went viral just a few weeks back, becoming a streaming and sales smash seemingly out of the blue. As fans around the world continue to tune in to 'Let Down,' the success of that album cut appears to have sparked a new round of interest in one of the alternative rock giant's most iconic tracks. 'Creep' climbs on the Billboard Global 200 this week, inching from No. 50 to No. 47. The position marks a new high point for both the track and Radiohead on Billboard's list of the most consumed tunes all around the world. The beloved composition first arrived on the Billboard Global 200 in May 2023. In the more than two years since its debut, the tune has spent a total of 98 weeks as one of the 200 most consumed songs around the world. It reaches its highest peak yet more than 30 years after being released as Radiohead's debut single. As it ascends on the Billboard Global 200, 'Creep' also slips two spaces on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. On that tally, Radiohead has soared as high as No. 52, but currently the group dips to No. 63. 'Creep' is also charting on a pair of U.S.-only rankings, as it holds inside the top 10 on both the Alternative Streaming Songs and Rock Streaming Songs lists. On those tallies, the cut settles at Nos. 7 and 9, respectively. 'Let Down' Reenters the Billboard Global 200 As 'Creep' rises on the Billboard Global 200, 'Let Down' returns to the same tally this week. The recently-viral track reenters at No. 191, missing out on its No. 190 peak by just one space. Now three frames into its run on the list, the cut is also enjoying a moment in the spotlight on several of Billboard's American rankings, as it currently lands inside the top 20 on three rock and alternative tallies.

Horror fans ‘terrified' after disturbing VHS recordings appear in US towns
Horror film fans are going to be sleeping with one eye open after a series of very disturbing VHS recordings started appearing in the US. Users on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok are still desperately seeking answers for the unexplained videos… but it seems no one can help. In a number of States, people are discovering VHS tapes featuring three hours of different horror scenes, which they reckon could be part of some new twisty marketing campaign for an upcoming movie. Having taken to social media to exchange findings and theories, it was soon realised that the videos all showed the same footage, which has also appeared on YouTube. On YouTube, we can see that the three-hour, 42-minute-long feature has been filmed in black and white and with night vision cameras. Titled 'WHITEFACE' and uploaded on June 27 in a bid to attract people with more knowledge, the VHS has already clocked up 1,000 views on the one platform alone. In the description, the uploader notes six locations where tapes have been found so far. These include a Hollywood video store, a bar in Nashville, a thrift store in Orlando, and an art gallery in Virginia. Meanwhile, over on TikTok, horror fanatics are losing their minds with all the speculation. TikToker Nicolas Curcio's video, currently with over 18,000 likes, sees him dissect the events, describing it as: 'This is either one of the best art projects ever or a case of the possible first-ever real found footage horror film.' For context, 'found footage horror' is a subgenre of horror films that 'uses a style of filmmaking characterised by the use of 'discovered' video recordings.' The recordings are typically presented as if they were made by the characters themselves. It's a genre that has had huge commercial success in the past, famous examples being 2007's Paranormal Activity, 2014's Creep, and, more recently, Late Night with the Devil, released in 2024. The TikTok creator goes on to say the discovered VHS footage does not contain any recognisable actors, but it mostly appears to be just a guy with a white-painted face wandering around LA. At one point, he's around Universal Studios. In some of the creepier moments, he films random people or even follows them home and into unlocked houses, harassing one woman at a bus stop for 30 minutes as she tries to ignore him. While some believe the whole thing is 'fake', others think it could be a student film that's made its way online. However, sceptics reckon it's even too amateurish for that, given that 'Whiteface' has no titles or end credits, nor is it edited. In the comments of the semi-viral TikTok video, people had plenty of thoughts. '$5 this is viral marketing for a movie that's going to drop later this year', declared @portiaisheeere. 'feels very fake especially 2 being found at similar times, starting on reddit and no real footage', @gargledmesh countered. 'it's 3 hours long and back in the day it was hard to edit tape to tape, so it could be an unfinished project – therefore even the lack of credits. now anyone can edit just on their phones, back then it was a different story', speculated @thedearone_. 'Quite clearly viral marketing for a movie lol nothing will ever top Blair witch though these companies have been trying to mimic it for years gets boring when everytime the film they're trying to get you to watch is boring', @bluish vented. The Blair they were referring to is, of course, 1999's horror/mystery movie The Blair Witch Project, which followed three students who vanished after venturing into a Maryland forest to film a documentary on the local Blair Witch legend. Only their footage was left behind. At the time, the indie flick had so many people convinced it was actually real, largely thanks to the prior release of a mockumentary titled Curse of the Blair Witch, which was also presented as 100% genuine, featuring interviews with so-called family members of the students and historical experts. More Trending Basically, the doc set the whole thing up, and it took a lot of people a while to realise it was just a marketing ploy, which is what some believe is happening again with Whiteface (2025). Having none of it, however, TikTok's @bbgst blasted: 'why is everyone so doubtful these days, why not just believe instead of thinking its a movie marketing thing or something'.

Radiohead Earns Its Second Career Global Hit Song With A Decades-Old Tune
Radiohead's 'Let Down' debuts at No. 190 on the Billboard Global 200, decades after release, earning ... More the group its second career win on the worldwide tally. Radiohead, Thom Yorke, Pukkelpop Festival, Hasselt, Belgium, 26th August 1995. (Photo by) Radiohead has been on the rise lately — not with brand new music, but thanks to a decades-old track that is finally receiving what many fans might call long-overdue attention. The group's song 'Let Down' began going viral several weeks ago, and its momentum hasn't slowed. Not only has it transformed into a Billboard chart hit in the United States, but it's also become a worldwide sensation for the first time, at least in one measurable way. Radiohead Charts a new Global Hit 'Let Down' debuts on the Billboard Global 200, the ranking of the most consumed songs on the planet. This week, the track barely manages to break onto the list, starting its journey at No. 190. 'Let Down' Joins 'Creep' Radiohead earns just its second-ever placement on the Billboard Global 200 with the arrival of 'Let Down.' In May 2023, 'Creep' debuted on the same roster. That tune, which had also been around for decades before it blasted onto the roster, climbed to an all-time peak of No. 51 just last frame — perhaps buoyed by the excitement surrounding 'Let Down.' This week, 'Creep' slips just two spaces to No. 53, while slightly declining on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. — which is compiled the same way but with American streams and sales removed. 'Let Down' begins its global journey just as 'Creep' marks its ninety-fifth week on both worldwide rosters. Radiohead Scores Another American Hit As 'Let Down' opens on the Billboard Global 200, it has yet to land on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., though it could appear soon. The track climbs to new highs on two of the three U.S.-based tallies it appears on at the same time. Radiohead's tune jumps to No. 15 on the Hot Alternative Songs chart and No. 18 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs ranking, after debuting just a few positions lower last week. The same cut also appears on the Hot Rock Songs list, where it slips slightly from its launch position of No. 14 to No. 15.

Radiohead Scores Its First New Hit Song In Almost A Decade
Radiohead's 'Let Down' debuts at No. 85 on the Official Singles chart, marking the band's first U.K. ... More hit in nearly a decade. NEW YORK, NY - MARCH, 1993: (L-R) Bassist Colin Greenwood, lead singer/pianist Thom Yorke, drummer Phil Selway, guitarist Jonny Greenwood and singer/guitarist Ed O'Brien of the British rock group Radiohead, play cards during a portrait session circa March, 1993 in New York, New York. (Photo by) Radiohead hasn't released a new album in almost 10 years, and fans have been waiting patiently since the May 2016 arrival of A Moon Shaped Pool. The musicians who comprise the alternative act have largely been focused on side projects and solo efforts in the years since. While the group may be dormant when it comes to releasing new music, there's still plenty of hidden gems in Radiohead's discography for the public to discover. The rock band collects a new hit in its home country this week with a decades-old tune, one which has recently risen to the surface and finally earned a moment to shine. Radiohead's song "Let Down" debuts on the Official Singles chart this week. The cut opens at No. 85 on the list of the most consumed tracks in the U.K. As it launches, the cut becomes the group's twenty-fourth placement on the competitive tally. "Let Down" is Radiohead's first new win on the Official Singles chart in nearly a decade. The last time the group earned a placement on the roster was in May 2016, when both "Burn the Witch" and "Daydreaming" opened at Nos. 64 and 74, respectively just one week apart from one another. "Let Down" debuted on the Official Streaming chart in the U.K. last week, becoming one of the 100 most streamed tracks in the country for the very first time. In just its second frame on that tally, it bolts more than 20 spaces — from No. 77 to No. 56 — reaching a new all-time peak. "Let Down" is Radiohead's second career hit on the Official Streaming chart. It currently sits just four spaces behind the group's all-time best showing on that list — No. 52, which "Creep" has reached in the past. Speaking of "Creep," all the excitement surrounding "Let Down's" surge helps that smash, which may be regarded as Radiohead's most popular track, return to the Official Singles chart at No. 94. At the same time, it pushes north on the Official Streaming list to No. 58, coming in just a few spots behind its No. 52 peak. "Let Down" was originally released as a promotional single from Radiohead's album OK Computer in September 1997, but at the time, it wasn't a major chart success. Recently, "Let Down" has been going viral online, which has turned it into a proper chart win in the U.K. — a little less than 30 years after Radiohead first shared it with the world.
